Castella Cheese Cake

Cultural Context

Originating from the Portuguese brought to Japan in the 16th century, Castella has evolved into a beloved Japanese confection, often enjoyed with tea. The cheese cake variant combines the light, fluffy texture of traditional Castella with the rich creaminess of cheese, making it a delightful treat for special occasions. Today, variations abound, with many bakeries offering unique twists on this classic.

Servings4
2 eggs
40g sugar
25g rice oil (or salad oil)
25g milk
30g rice flour
35g cream cheese
10g rum (or lemon juice)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: neufchâtel cheese

Ricotta is lower in fat and cost-effective

1

Separate the eggs into yolks and whites, and chill the egg whites in the refrigerator.

2

Add warmed milk and salad oil to softened cream cheese and mix well until smooth and emulsified.

3

Add egg yolks, rum, and rice flour to the mixture from step 2, mixing well after each addition.

4

Add sugar to the chilled egg whites and whip with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, then lower the speed for 1 minute to refine the texture.

5

Add about 1/3 of the meringue to the mixture from step 3 and mix well.

6

Fold the remaining meringue into the mixture from step 5.

7

Finally, mix gently with a rubber spatula until the batter is uniform and reaches a consistency where it slowly disappears when drizzled.

8

Pour the batter into a mold lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 150℃ for 30-35 minutes in a water bath. (The video shows baking for 33 minutes, and the position was swapped after 15 minutes to avoid uneven baking.)

9

Check for doneness by inserting a skewer; it should come out clean without wet batter sticking to it.
